Where three turbines were used to generate hydro-electricity from the River Teifi for Llandysul and Pont-Tyweli. This system didn&#8217;t last however, and the Powerhouse fell into disrepair and wasn&#8217;t used from 1948 to the 1980s, until a group of like-minded people from the communities of Llandysul and Pont Tweli started using the Powerhouse as a Community Centre and the Arts Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a
